(Reuters) - Sergei Udaltsov, a prominent Russian left-wing political activist, was arrested and charged with "justifying terrorism" on Thursday, state news agency TASS quoted Udaltsov's lawyer as saying.
Udaltsov, who has supported the war in Ukraine, had written on the Telegram messenger app earlier on Thursday morning that police were breaking down his front door.
